FAQs

How often should I wash my Fantasie Cesile bra?

It's recommended to hand wash your bra after every few wears, or after each wear if you've been particularly active, to maintain hygiene and the integrity of the fabric and elastic.

What is the purpose of the side support feature?

The side support panel is designed to help draw the breast tissue towards the center, enhancing uplift and forward projection for a smoother, more rounded shape.

Can I use a regular washing machine cycle?

No, the bra is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can damage the underwire, lace, and straps due to agitation and heat.

What does 'wide wire' mean in the description?

A wide wire refers to an underwire channel that is broader than standard, designed to provide more comfort and support by distributing pressure over a larger area.

How do I know if I have the correct band size?

The band should sit snugly parallel to the floor on your back, allowing only enough room to slide one finger underneath. It provides about 80% of the bra's support.

What is the difference between the 2-hook and 3-hook fastening?

The number of hooks corresponds to the size range. Smaller cup sizes (D-FF) use a 2-hook fastening, while larger cup sizes (G-J) use a 3-hook fastening to provide the necessary support and stability.

Will the lace top cup stretch out over time?

The lace top cup is made with powerful stretch lace and increased elastane content, designed to offer support and shape while accommodating movement. With proper care, it should maintain its elasticity.

Troubleshooting

Straps are digging in or slipping

Adjust the shoulder straps to a comfortable, secure fit. Ensure the band is sitting correctly at the back. The center pull straps are designed to help prevent slippage.

Underwire feels uncomfortable or is digging

Check that the underwire is fully encompassing the breast tissue and sitting correctly in the bra's cradle. Ensure you have the correct cup size; an incorrect size can cause the underwire to misalign.

Bra is not providing enough support

Confirm the bra band is snug and level on your back. For G-J cup sizes, ensure you are using the 3-hook fastening. Re-check cup fit; overflow can affect support.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have rinsed the bra thoroughly. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade elasticity. Air dry as instructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stretch lace top cup offers additional support and shape.
  • Designed to prevent strap slippage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Fitting: Ensure the bra is properly fitted. The band should sit level on your back, and the underwire should encase the entire breast tissue without digging in.
  2. Strap Adjustment: Adjust the shoulder straps so they are snug but not digging into your shoulders. The center pull straps should help keep the bra in place.

Compatibility:

  • This bra is designed for women seeking full coverage and support.
  • It pairs well with various clothing types, from casual wear to more formal attire, providing a smooth silhouette.

Care Instructions:

  • Hand Wash Only: Gently hand wash the bra in cool or lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
  • Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap is rinsed out.
  • Do Not Tumble Dry: Heat from a tumble dryer can damage the delicate straps, rings, and fabric. Lay flat to air dry, reshaping while damp.
  • Avoid Bleaching: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
  • No Ironing: Do not iron the bra.
